            <p name="778d" id="778d" class="graf graf--p graf-after--h3">It feels so surreal after all isn’t it, when
              the world conjures around us. The meaning of existence or the unknown remains a mystery, for unless sought with
              a true soul, remains unraveled. They say that the interplay of words catches the attention of the
              wandering eye. When it sounds more than just what it is.</p>
            <p name="4fa7" id="4fa7" class="graf graf--p graf-after--p">Rhyming, rhythmic, alliterations and metaphors
              are the literary devices they use. Isn’t it just hard to write coherently with a steady train of thoughts?
              There shall be detours, poems encapsulated somewhere. Some quotes shall be uttered which seem original or
              a word or two in the air. Some may be obvious whereas some genius.</p>
            <p name="cc74" id="cc74" class="graf graf--p graf-after--p">It is so unique indeed that we have this
              capability to be whatever we chose to be. <em class="markup--em markup--p-em">Free will</em> as a central
              problem of philosophy still enchants the mankind — with growing technological advents and socio-economic
              vicissitudes.</p>
            <p name="5772" id="5772" class="graf graf--p graf-after--p">The question still persists “Has making life
              easier with the choices made in past, made it easier in its true actuality?” The answer to this seems to
              be a — ‘No’. It hasn’t. We have just been a prisoner of our creations all along. The captives of our
              identities. Getting out of it <em class="markup--em markup--p-em">is</em> possible only when we stop
              visualising this entire realm of negativity.</p>
            <p name="1ac1" id="1ac1" class="graf graf--p graf-after--p">The perspective of this creation has to change.
              Every choice made has its share of merits and perils. The merits should make us stronger and keep us
              manifested — never pull ourselves down, come what may. Saying this with conviction is sometimes seen as
              gaudy with mindless optimism or even as an arrogant and pompous demeanour.</p>
            <p name="8523" id="8523" class="graf graf--p graf-after--p">The movement (or purpose as one may see at least
              in general) is to be more freer. Freer than before, both in our minds as well as our actions. Money is a way
              of freedom. Allows us with the choice of every possibility that can be dreamt of in this society that we
              have built. The more valuable we are, the more prominence we gain and become irreplaceable (at least in
              near future).</p>
            <p name="4afb" id="4afb" class="graf graf--p graf-after--p">Some charted ways of becoming free is to
              practice finesse in our craft. The craft shall never betray us. For betrayal is something beings are
              capable of. We are harnessing the craft, the skill to be our individual best, every time we deliver.
              Ensure due care, address qualms, gentle and tender we care — hone and caress to build a monogamous and
              infidel relationship with our craft.</p>
